Something is digging up the flowers in my flower boxes, what could it be and how can I get rid of them?


Question:Our home is surrounded by woods. We did have bird feeders near the boxes but have removed them, however we continue to have our flower boxes dug up.

Answers:
Squirrels. Put the feeders further away from the boxes.


probably rabbits, this happened to my parents too
so my Mom sat out one night & happened to see that it was a rabbit

she called a near by plant store & they told
her there is not much you can do , but to buy &
plant flowers that rabbits are not attracted to , they
gave her the types of flowers to plant & that's what she did , no more rabbits

sorry to hear this, what a pain
We obviously live on different parts of the planet, but I have noticed that Francolin and Guineafowl scratch up my flower beds and also jackals especially shortly after I have planted stuff. The only remedy I have found is to fence it with shade cloth until the plants are established.
cats?
Spray a cayenne pepper mixture around and in the box. This should discourage any rodents from messing with it.
I would try putting rose branches cut in short lengths on the soil of your flower boxes. It will discourage any little critter from messing with your flowers. No one likes prickly feet!
would bet good money it's probably squirrels - you can actually spread mothballs in your boxes, or bury them just under the soil if you don't want to see them

the odor will be enough to discourage the squirrels, or rabbits, or anything else that's digging around in your flowers
